Jul 30 – Homily – Fr Maximilian W: To Get Everything, Sacrifice Everything Else

Homily #140730n ( 03min) Play - Father comments on the parables of today's Gospel reading, reminding that (1) the "Kingdom of Heaven" is worth the sacrifice of everything else to acquire it, and (2) it does require the sacrifice of everything else. He connects this with Our Lady's request at Fatima, "Pray and Make Sacrifices" and reminds us that if we refuse to make this sacrifice, we are blocking the free action of God in our lives and in the whole world.
